QUOTE

Al Jazeera's English website, aljazeera.net/english will also be re-launched on Wednesday at 12 GMT to reflect the television's look and editorial content. It will provide live streams of the channel, together with RSS feeds, e-mail newsletters and interactive discussion boards.

Anybody ever read their website? Let no one complain about sensationalist western news coverage once you've given it a look.

Equal in sensationalism to Western media (probably less so than Murdoch's vessel Fox), and just focused on a different audience.
